This month, we made progress on two enemies: "Sentinel" and "Operator". We are still fixing minor details on both enemies, such as VFX particles, AI navigation, and a fix in the Sentinel cannon weapon (texture).

We started fixing the new Sparky animations in the player controller to ensure all movement transitions are seamless. In addition, we did a minor rework of the player swimming mechanics to make underwater navigation feel more fluid while remaining similar to some PS1 games.

Work has officially begun on the final version of Secret Level 1 "??????????". We’ve also implemented the "Multiverse Code Puzzle." Speaking of secrets... have you managed to find that hidden level in the Demo yet?

We’ve started concepting Secret Level 2 "???????????", the final level of the game! The level design and blockout phases are next on our radar. Also, we made more progress in the "Innerforest" Level, both in the "Surface Area" and in the "Secret Area". This level is supposed to be finished in July.

Here is a little glimpse of the "Secret Area" of the "Innerforest". Are you up to the challenge of finding it? (Innferforest is only available in the Release Version of the game).

We have finally started the "Royaltower" level blocking.

A new original soundtrack was added to the list: "Rush or Nothing!", the theme song of the Automatatwin Boss Fight. We hope you like it... Finally, we created new animations for the "?????" Secret Boss. Remember, he is always watching you from the shadows. NEVER let him get inside your mind.

Check out the new Demo Trailer for Sparky Rush:

We are excited to announce a new major update for the Sparky Rush Demo, focusing heavily on a visual overhaul and massive technical improvements. The released features include a completely new Sparky 3D model, a new set of animations, facial expressions, and particle effects that make controlling our protagonist feel more polished and smoother. Also, we added the new "Proxy" enemy (Sweetie's helper androids) in the Petsfarm and Pawsville levels.

Two new original soundtracks were added to the game: "Pawsville Sunset" (Pawsville Level Main Theme) and "Visionnaire Etude" (Sweetie's Main Theme). More tracks were also added to the game, but will only be available in the final game version...

Major optimizations were made on the levels and in the game code to reach faster performance (memory usage, higher frame rates). Also, the enemy AI was rewritten to be compatible and generic with the newer and future enemies of the game.

In summary:

• New Sparky 3D Model with new animations, expressions, and particles

• New Enemy: "Proxy"

• 2 new soundtracks for the Pawsville Level

• Major performance optimizations

• UI Navigation support for joysticks (PlayStation / Xbox)

• Enemies AI code changed

• Adjusted PS1-like shader visuals
